Architecture

Durable surface solutions for facades and interior applications

In architecture, in addition to materials, geometry, and construction, colors, effects, and surface textures are the primary factors that determine the overall impact of a structure. Powder coatings help to shape these elements in a targeted manner—both visually and tactilely.

They enable high-quality, functional, and durable surfaces for facade components as well as interior elements.

What are the requirements in architecture?

Architectural applications place high demands on coating systems:

High UV and weather resistance
Long-term color and gloss retention
Reliable corrosion protection
Wide design flexibility in color, effect, and texture
Compliance with international quality standards (e.g., QUALICOAT, GSB, AAMA)

Powder coating meets these requirements and combines design freedom with technical performance and efficient application.

How does powder coating support architectural applications?

Powder coating combines design freedom with technical performance:

Uniform, high-quality surfaces
High resistance to environmental influences
Solvent-free technology
Efficient processing with high material utilization

In the architectural sector, powder coating is primarily used on aluminum, steel, and galvanized steel. With appropriate pretreatment, it can also be applied to MDF, glass, or ceramic substrates.

The process produces uniform, reproducible surfaces with high resistance to mechanical and climatic influences.

Typical applications of powder coating in architecture

The building envelope serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. It protects against environmental influences while also shaping the architectural appearance.

Coatings for facades must remain stable over the long term—despite intense UV radiation, changing climatic conditions, and increasing quality requirements.

Powder coatings from TIGER Coatings meet relevant international standards and ensure consistently stable color and surface quality.

For interior applications, the focus is not only on aesthetics but also, and in particular, on durability and suitability for everyday use.

Powder coatings offer:

High scratch and abrasion resistance
Uniform, high-quality surfaces
Great design flexibility

They are suitable for furniture, lighting, interior finishes, and applications in public spaces subject to heavy use.

Windows, doors, and gates are constantly exposed to mechanical stress and changing weather conditions. Powder coating protects aluminum and steel components from corrosion, UV radiation, moisture, and everyday wear and tear.

At the same time, it allows for precise coordination of color, gloss level, and surface texture with the building’s facade and architectural design. High-quality powder coatings ensure uniform, durable finishes on window profiles, door frames, garage doors, and entry systems.

Sun protection systems such as louvers, blinds, external blinds, sunshades, and awning structures are particularly exposed to intense sunlight and the elements. Powder coatings with high UV and weather resistance help preserve color, gloss, and surface quality over the long term.

In addition to protecting the components, powder coatings offer a wide range of design possibilities. Sun protection elements can be harmoniously integrated into the facade design or used specifically as architectural accents.

Conservatories and glass facade structures bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces and place high demands on design and durability. Coated aluminum and steel profiles must reliably withstand temperature fluctuations, moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical stress.

Powder coatings provide lasting corrosion protection and a high-quality surface finish. A wide selection of colors, effects, and textures makes it possible to customize conservatories to match buildings, windows, and facade elements.

In architecture, steel structures are used for load-bearing frameworks, canopies, stairs, railings, balconies, and visible design elements. Depending on their application, the surfaces must withstand high mechanical stresses and corrosive environmental influences.

When combined with appropriate pretreatment, powder coating provides reliable corrosion protection and a durable, uniform surface. At the same time, functional steel components can be seamlessly integrated into the overall architectural design through the use of different colors, gloss levels, and textures.
